Off again... Back in Kathmandu for a day, now starting a three week trek in the Annapurna region of Nepal. Currently Dipiwali (festival of light) for the next four days, so plenty of music, dancingWeiterlesen
Lyndsay McDonnell Enjoy your trek and the festivities. Hope you have got your walking shoes on!! Take care lots of love Mom and Dad xxxx
Lynda Ralph Have fun with all the festivities going on. Lots of fireworks going off here last night, for Diwali. Enjoy your trek, Looby & James. We're off to Copenhagen early tomorrow, to see Leicester City play, not quite as adventurous as your trek but still quite a rarity for us. Stay safe, lots of love Lynda & Tom xxx
Dave Warwick All looks superb. No wonder you're off again, only 321 days left (ish.) I get to stay in tonight as kinder off Guising !!. We had a nice sunset too down the valley in N'more, not dissimilar to the Manaslu Massif. Although I may have got that wrong too! Enjoy the trek :-)

7 hours walking with plenty of tea breaks and food. A really hot day up and down the foothills with tiny villages hanging on the hillside surrounded by rice paddies. Our tea house is in the lastWeiterlesen
Lyndsay McDonnell Fantastic scenery!! I should think it has been a very interesting day but do hope that nobody goes sleep walking tonight or they might get a shock!! Enjoy your trek tomorrow. Lots of love Mom and Dad xxxx
I can't believe how much tea ☕️ you two are drinking! Any new blends ☕️️you can recommend from distant shores? 🌎 Amazing views, safe trek 🚶tomorrow. Love Gem x
Carrie Moore Simon thinks he is a day behind you so you never know, you might just see each other at some point? Or then again...? Pics look amazing!

Walking by 7, lunch by 11! Steep, winding path that traversed the edge of the deep narrow valley all morning then it opened up. Much colder evening, even colder water to wash in. Card games a plenty.

Later start this morning, walking at 7.30. Saw white mountains today beyond the incredibly steep sided valleys: Manaslu and Annupurna 2. Really happy to be back in the big snow capped mountains today.Weiterlesen
Lyndsay McDonnell You are not the only ones to see white mountains. From home we can see Ben Wyvis covered in snow although thankfully we have not had any!! Also the Cairngorms have had a fair amount. Lots of love Mom and Dad xxxx

Beautiful colour on the mountain early this morning followed by an avalanche. Lots more Buddhist prayer walls, wheels and flags. The scenery just keeps on improving. Huge rock slab, similar to, butWeiterlesen

Cold night as the water pipe had frozen and the temp in our room was 1 degree. Must be getting to higher altitudes as impromptu 'monkeys' and 'can can' dances on the trail! Took the high path optionWeiterlesen
Lyndsay McDonnell Fantastic photos! I know you two can cope with the low temperatures but not my idea of fun. More cakes but after an eight hour trek with climbing I should think you deserved it!! Take care lots of love Mom and Dad xxxx
Tom Ralph You guys above the trees wonderful views live Tom and Lynda , keep safe high up

Great to have a lie in this morning till 7am then a short walk uphill to help us acclimatise (3800m). Found another great bakery for lunch then explored the village. Off to watch a film later once theWeiterlesen
Lyndsay McDonnell Love all the wonderful photos. The cinema looks very interesting - hope you enjoyed the film and the halftime treats. Back to trekking tomorrow - take care lots of love Mom and Dad xxxx
It was great to read your up date today. So glad to hear that you got a lie in! Apparently we are experiencing an arctic blast here! No snow but a very chilly night for a firework party! Keep safe love Gem x

Yak Kharka (4018m) and Thorung Phedi (4450m) Slowly heading higher so we don't gain too much altitude too quickly. Getting colder (-7 one morning) and tea houses even more basic and busy. Dusty unevenWeiterlesen
Lyndsay McDonnell Some experience - minus 7 and cattle sheds but we are sure you are making the best of everything. Take care and lots of love Mom and Dad xxxx
Lynda Ralph What an experience, but rather you than me ! It's cold enough here. Take care, lots of love, Lynda & Tom xxx

Great day, started at 3am! -2 so not as cold as expected and great stars. 1000m ascent and 1700m decent today to get up and over the pass. A couple of tea houses offered a welcome hot lemon and restWeiterlesen
Lyndsay McDonnell Sounds as if you have had a hard but interesting day. The views must have been fantastic so can't wait to see the photos. So pleased you are both well in the high altitude. Take care lots of love Mom and Dad xxxx
sounds like a fabulous view, and early morning stars without being tainted by street lights. Not sure I have seen 3am for a while! Keep safe love Gem x
Lyndsay McDonnell Hope you have had a wonderful time. Waiting to hear all about it before you go off again. Lots of love Mom and Dad xxxx
Glad to hear that your back. Hope you had an amazing time. Radio silence for 9 days is
